Apocalypse Now Analysis of Sound

Here the camera is positioned above several forklifts which Block proceeds to donut around. Several times in this sequence of shots the camera is switched from ground level to the aerial camera. The reason for those switches however are so that the audience can see the size of the stunt that is being performed, and by combining low angled shots with birds eye positioning, this scene provides the 'WOW' factor that the audience is looking for.

In this shot the camera tilts up and down when following the car through the corner/donut. There isn't a major movement as there is no requirement because everything fits into the scene, however when Ken drives off the camera moves noticably upwards to follow him away.
